Light Aircraft

Robert Key
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many light aircraft landed in the UK from overseas destinations in each of the past five years; and how many of them were intercepted by HM Revenue and Customs (a) nationally and (b) in the south region in each year.

John Healey
In the 12 months to 30 November 2006 98,516 light aircraft are recorded as having landed in the UK from overseas destinations. No information for earlier years is available.

HM Revenue and Customs do not centrally record the challenges they make of light aircraft crew and passengers.
